"The new mobile website and Adirondacks travel app will act as a guide book, GPS, map and travel agent all in one," states Ron Ofner, executive director of the Adirondack Regional Tourism Council. "More than 10 million people visit the Adirondack Region annually and these new features will make travel decisions easier."
When smartphone users download the Adirondacks mobile app, they will be able to research everything that goes into planning and enjoying an Adirondack vacation. The "What's nearby?" function provides travelers with an easy way to discover points of interest wherever they are within the Adirondack Region. One of the benefits of the app is that the information is available at all times regardless of cell coverage by using the phone's built-in GPS capability.
